Itinerary
We begin with a pre-dawn departure (4.30 to 4.40 am depending on the time of year) from your hotel for sunrise outside Angkor Wat. Enter the great temple in darkness from the little-visited eastern side, and creep along hoary cloistered corridors past the longest stretch of bas-relief carvings in the world. Soak up the atmosphere of dawn at Angkor Wat, from the edge of one of the ancient library pools. We then explore the interior of the great temple, spending a thorough two hours discovering the corridors, central chambers and upper terraces of this truly great temple. Your expert local guide will decipher the myriad of stories behind the bas-relief carvings, and give you an insight into life during the height of the Khmer empire. We end our tour at Angkor with breakfast outside the temple (take away, from your hotel), and a short rest.
We end our touring at Angkor with breakfast at Khmer local resturant (breakfast is not included), and a short rest.
One of the most atmospheric of all temples in Angkor. Once home to 2,740 monks, Ta Prohm today looks much as it did in the early 1850s, when French explorer Henri Mouhot ‘rediscovered’ this crumbling site. After exploring the maze-like interior of Ta Prohm, return to your hotel after a long but fulfilling day, which will leave you with a lifetime of memories of one of the wonders of the world.
Pass by the famous Terrace of the Leper King, and the Terrace of Elephant.
Angkor Thom is the majestic site once served as the Khmer Empire's glistening capital city. Take a moment to consider its grandiosity before venturing inside the city. Arriving at the temple at Bayon, appreciate its beautifully crafted central towers covered in more than 200 enormous faces.

What ab incredible adventure with guide Pal Sauron and driver Wi Keat - Pal’s humor, enthusiasm and photography skills kept us engaged and inspired starting from 430 am and continuing from sunrise at stunning Angkor Wat throughout 6 temples. I only wish I could retain a tenth of all the knowledge he shared diring this truly once in a lifetime experience!
An amazing sunrise tour of the three main Angkor temples. Watching the sun rise over Angkor Wat was truly unforgettable. A fantastic day exploring these incredible ancient temples, learning about their history and taking in the breathtaking architecture. A must-do experience when visiting Siem Reap!
I am a travel agent and really would recommend the tour - Viche and Zak very helpful… plenty of water and cool towels. Very knowledgable guide. Definitely do this tour
Sok was fantastic! We learnt so much from him, and he was an excellent photographer, taking lots of great pictures for us. Highly recommend going with Sok on your tour!
Views are amazing, Yuth was a great tour guide. We enjoyed our morning so much. Be prepared to walk more than 10k steps and lots of ups and dows but if you’re fine with that, it’s really enjoyable
Had a great tour with Pal. It was quite long and very humid and hot but he kept our spirits up and kept us cool with water and fresh towels. Would recommend.
An unforgettable experience exploring Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples at sunrise. The temples themselves are absolutely breathtaking, and seeing them in the early morning light was a truly special experience. Our guide, Sen, added so much to the day. He was knowledgeable, friendly and genuinely passionate about the history and culture of the temples. His explanations brought the sites to life without ever feeling rushed, and he was happy to answer all our questions. The combination of the incredible temples, beautiful scenery and Sen’s excellent guiding made this a fantastic tour. Highly recommend both the experience and Sen to anyone visiting Siem Reap!
Thank you so much to our guide Pal and our driver Sabath. Pal was so thorough, kind, and knowledgeable. He truly cares about what he does and it shows in the way he talks about each of the sites. Bonus points for knowing all the best picture spots! We definitely saw things and learned facts we would have never discovered if we had’ve gone to the sites on our own. The breakfast stop was also great, and cold towels and water provided were much appreciated. Cannot recommend this experience enough.
We had a wonderful experience on the Angkor Wat Highlights and Sunrise Guided Tour. Mr. Saruon Pal was an excellent guide, knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and very engaging, making the history and significance of each site easy to understand and truly memorable. Our driver, Vrak, was also fantastic, always kind, punctual, and attentive, making the whole day comfortable and stress-free. A beautifully organized tour with a great team, and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Siem Reap.
I had a great time! Chay was fantastic and had great knowledge and extra fun facts. The temples were amazing, the tour ran smoothly!
I absolutely loved this tour! Our guide, Bon, was incredibly patient and gave us plenty of time to admire every detail of the temples without feeling rushed. We were also provided with refreshing towels and bottled water, which was a thoughtful touch, especially in the heat. Everything was well organized, and the experience exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this tour!
Our tour guide (Bun) was very knowledgeable! Would recommend
We had an unbelievable experience touring Angkor Wat! Our guide, Sak, made this trip unforgettable - he provided an exceptional level of detail on Cambodian history and culture. He is a gem and made the whole journey lively and informative. I cannot emphasize enough how special this trip was and am excited to return to Cambodia soon!
An amazing experience! Sak was the BEST tour guide—so kind and knowledgeable. And he took so many great pictures :) I would recommend to anyone!!
Amazing tour—incredible places embodying so much Cambodian history. Sok could not have been a better or more knowledgeable guide—it was clear he had years of experience as he had answers to all of our questions! He made the tour a remarkable day to never forget!! Also Da was a solid driver. Great day all in all! Highly highly recommend!
Amazing experience! We got an early pick up straight from our hotel which gave us enough time to sit and enjoy the entire sunrise. Our guide, Sok, was very knowledgeable about each of the temples we went to and he was incredibly kind and friendly. Between temples we returned to a cooled van with cool towels and water. I would certainly recommend a tour with Sok to get the most out of the temples.
This tour was an incredible experience! A great way to see some of the amazing temples in Cambodia. Sadly it was too cloudy for us to see the sunrise, but the rest of the tour absolutely made up for it. The tour guide Mr Pal was incredible, he has so much knowledge to share! I travelled alone and he made sure to snap some pictures for me, which was very appreciated. The driver Ha was very kind and courteous also. A wonderful experience!
Sok was a great tour guide. Highly recommended!
What an absolutely amazing experience and a fun and knowledgeable guide. It was very humbling to see and touch something 900 years old… my guide was amazing taking photographs for me so that I don’t only have selfies to show for it… I could not recommend this tour any more highly
I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Journey Cambodia. From the moment I was picked up, both Sok Chea and Sambath made me feel welcome and well taken care of. Sok Chea is a remarkable guide. He was patient, knowledgeable and took the time to explain the history and deeper meaning behind everything we visited. He brought the temples and Cambodia’s story to life in a way I would never have experienced on my own. Sambath was equally impressive. Always smiling, proactive with water and cold towels, and genuinely friendly throughout the day. The whole experience exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Journey Cambodia and this tour to anyone visiting Siem Reap. Do yourself a favor and book with them directly.
TRULY HAD AN AMAZING TIME. Bun was an awesome tour guide. Her was so calm, clear, and knowledgeable. Vichit was also a great driver. He was always ready for us with cold waters and cool towels :) We were with a small group of 5 (2 of us plus 3 more) and we had lots of fun learning exploring and getting to know each other. The temples were stunning and it was truly a one and a lifetime experience. I couldn't recommend Bun and Vichit enough!!
Sok Chea was a phenomenal tour guide and made our trip. Would enthusiastically recommend!
Pal was very knowledgeable and friendly. Dara, our driver, was always waiting with a cold towel and icey water after each temple. They were both so friendly and happy to go at the speed we wanted. The temples were all stunning and we had a wonderful time, highly recommend:-)
I’m a solo traveler and booked the sunrise tour with Journey Cambodia, and it was one of the best experiences of my trip to Cambodia. Everything was very well organized from start to finish. Watching the sunrise at Angkor Wat was absolutely unforgettable. My guide, Mr. Pal Saroun, was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Cambodian history and culture. He explained every temple in detail and made the whole tour interesting and enjoyable. I learned so much during the trip, and he also helped take great photos along the way. A big thanks as well to our driver, Mr. Dara, who was very professional and kind. He always welcomed us back with cold water and a cool vehicle after each stop, which was greatly appreciated in the hot weather. The whole experience felt comfortable, fun, and personal. I highly recommend Journey Cambodia to anyone visiting Siem Reap and wanting an amazing sunrise tour experience. Thank you again for such a memorable day!
What a wonderful sunrise tour. Started with a prompt collection in a lovely air conditioned bus driven by Dara who constantly supplied us with bottles of ice cold water and cold cloths. Sac was our first guide and he was super knowledgable and shared his childhood lifestyle with us ❤️ Angkor Wat was everything and more . Just beautiful and Sac got us to the most perfect spot to watch the sunrise. Sadly he had to leave us and get your guide swiftly replaced him with Sarudn who was equally as knowledgeable and friendly. We saw a few temples and loved the stories that came with the tour. Well worth the visit The feeling of calm, kindness and gentleness all the way through is what struck us immensely. Beautiful people
Sok Chea was an amazing tour guide!!! We had the best time, super informative and fun. We were looked after and given space to explore in our own time. Amazing photos from today and Sok Chea is a great photographer!!
Sok Chea was an incredible tour guide. We had a great time and learnt so much about the temples and Cambodian history. Sok Chea was very funny and a pleasure to be with. We would highly recommend this tour.
An amazing tour with an incredible tour guide in one of the most beautiful world wonders. Thank you to Sak and Mao for the hospitality, history lesson and for sharing with us their culture. Totally recommended and worth it!
We had a wonderful experience with our guide Chhay who kept us laughing and entertained throughout. Seeing all the temples was magical and having Chhay telling us more information about them and pointing out interesting structures made it come to life.
Chhay and his team looked after us for our private guided tour. They picked us up at hotel. Show us around and watch out for our safety. We enjoyed our time to learn more about Angkor Wat. Highly recommended
Wonderful experience, Chhay was a great guide with lots of knowledge. We also really appreciated our driver’s attentiveness. Beautiful views and sights, a must-see!
Sak was an outstanding tour guide and truly brought to life the spirit and history of Ankor Wat. He was a passionate and animated story teller who kept us all engaged with what we were seeing. I thought I was “templed out” until I did this tour, it’s all about the guide and going with Sak was 100% the right choice. He also knew the exact approach to navigate the temples. Timings to avoid crowds etc etc. A seasoned professional. Always finding the perfect picture spot and asking and encouraging questions. He brought the history of Cambodia alive and I highly recommend. Thank you Sak and Black. (Solo female backpacker, 30)
The true guy was very knowledgeable. And also funny. I would definitely recommend a tour to everybody. Also, surprisingly he’s a very good picture taker too.
Nice tour with Sak, our kind and funny guide. He gave us good explanations and is very dedicated for your photos 😄 The driver was very nice too, he gave us fresh water and cold towel to refresh ourselves at every rides!
Pal Saruon (guide) and Vichat (driver) are great people to be with. Had great time with them.
Chhay was very knowledgeable and relayed the information with ease. He also shared insights on the culture of the Khmer people today. He is a great photographer and knows all the great location. Also he will keep you smiling with his sense of humour.
We had a wonderful 2 days excursion to Angkor Wat. Our Guide, Soc, is a very experienced guide, who gave us a lot of impact to the Cambodian history and the temples. It was so interesting to listen to him. We enjoyed it very much. Soc and the driver, were a good team and both did a great job.
Small group (4 people) tour with Mr. Saruon Pal and driver Mr. Mao. The service was excellent, I learnt a lot about the different temple sites, the atmosphere was relaxed and left room for questions, photo shootings and individual requests. We were brought to a nice breakfast place and were overall taken great care of!
Chhay was an amazing guide for our one day tour around Angkor Wat - not only did he show us the tourist spots, he also shared his personal stories with us. It made us feel like we also belong to this world just for a day. Highly recommend booking your tour with Chhay, you will have a great day!
We had a wonderful day at Angkor Wat with our very knowledgeable guide Chhay. Highly recommend booking a tour. Everything is set up for you and you will be very well looked after.
Tour started early but was well worth it for the views and to beat some of the heat of the day. Our guide Sauron Pal and driver Naro took us around to a couple of different temples, they also did a great job at exploring the historical significance behind the sites.
We had a fantastic time on the Tour. It’s an amazing experience. Somchhay (Chhay) was fantastic, very funny, great knowledge and very good English! Couldn’t recommend enough.
Incredible tour, made even better by our tour guide Chhay. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We saw all 3 of the amazing temples and were back at our hotel by lunch time. Amazing day out!
Chhay was a great tour guide - very knowledgable and friendly, we learned a lot. Really enjoyed the day & would highly recommend!
Great experience with Mr Nang and our driver Kia, they made the day amazing and we had a great time!
An early start to a marvelous experience. Our guide Mr Hang and our driver Kea could not have been more efficient and friendly. The experience itself at Angkor Wat was very special and our guide really knew his stuff! Thoroughly recommend Journey Cambodia!
Nang and Kea were great, Kea driving us and supplying us with water and refreshing flannels, and always there at points throughout the trip to pick up and drop us off, Nang had so much knowledge and took us around and explained the history of all that we were seeing. The sunrise was amazing, it was an early start but when you see it then getting up so early is worthwhile, the temples were amazing and it was fascinating to hear some of the history behind them! I was in a small group, me, a lady and a couple and they were all lovely so I feel the trip was great and well worth the money, thanks to both guys for making it such a worthwhile and enjoyable trip.
A wonderful experience, following recommendations, via Journey Cambodia. We were picked up from our hotel, with plenty of guidance on what to do beforehand (buy a ticket online, ask for a hotel breakfast pack etc), and we arrived at Angkor Wat ahead of the crowds to bag a prime spot, ready for sunrise. The temple complex is huge - over 1000 monuments - and we enjoyed guided visits to 3 sites, plus the wonderful Victory Gate and Elephant Terrace. Our tour guide - Sauron Pal - knew all the best places to visit, and freely shared his expert knowledge about them, and the history and religions of Cambodia. He was also an excellent photographer, and helped us capture great shots, as a wonderful reminder of our day. Our driver had towels and cold water ready for us whenever we returned to the bus, which was comfortable and clean. There were plenty of time for a breakfady stop, several loo stops, and nothing was too much trouble for him and our driver. A long morning which was a great introduction to Cambodia.
The trip was very informative and interesting. Chhay our tour guide had excellent knowledge and gave us just the right amount of information to make it really interesting.
